Play guitar with Karaboss
Karaboss has a new module made for bassists and guitarists.
Learn your favorite guitar tracks with Karaboss: Play a song and the playing notes will appear on a virtual guitar neck where you have to put your fingers!
How?
A video is available here.
Select a song in the explorer and click on the “Guitar” button on the left navigation bar to display the virtual guitar.
How to use the virtual guitar?
Each of the guitars included in the MIDI file is displayed and plays its own score.
You will find generally a bass guitar and one or several guitars.
Bass guitars are colored differently from other guitars.
- To remove one or more guitars from the display, click on the “X” button.
- You can also slow down or speed up the performance of the song by clicking the “+” and “-” buttons.
What is it for?
Obviously, the display algorithm of positions often gives a very approximate result and far enough from what a normal guitarist would use.
(a normal guitarist does not have fingers twenty centimeters long).
A priori, the perfect algorithm should not be simple…
See this thesis from Elias Mistler proposing to use neural networks : Generating Guitar Tablatures with Neural Networks
or this one, from Daniel R. Tuohy:
Creating Tablature and Arranging Music or Guitar with Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks
That said, this module, very visual, allows to apprehend a piece faster.
